Patent number: 12210924Abstract: A tie includes an RFID device and a body encapsulating the RFID device by overmolding. The body includes a strap member, a head member, and a protection member connected between the strap member and the head member. The strap member has a plurality of engaging teeth. The RFID device is embedded in the protection member. The head member has a through hole. A hole wall of the through hole is provided with a one-way pawl. When winding the body around an object, the protection member can get a better protection since the protection member is located on an inner side between the head member and the strap member without protruding outward. Because the protection member and the head member are closer to a surface of the object, the extent to which the protection member protrudes outwards is reduced, thereby facilitating the RFID device to be sensed more easily.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2023Date of Patent: January 28, 2025Assignees: YOKE INDUSTRIAL CORP., ASIA SMART TAG CO., LTD.Inventors: Rong-Der Hong, Lien-Feng Lin, Yu-Ying Lin
